Abstract
A hand-held communication device with vertically oriented antenna includes a housing with a main body and a cover hingedly attached to the main body for movement between a closed position and an open position. The main body has a control surface enclosed by the cover in the closed position and accessible for operation with the cover in the open position. An antenna is movably affixed to the cover so as to form a portion of the cover with the cover in the closed position and to extend generally vertically from the cover with the cover in the open position and the communication device housing held in an operative orientation.
